We've had more Trick or Treaters this year than in recent years. It's really windy yet for Oct. 31st in NJ its also considered REALLY WARM! My weather app says Brick NJ is 70F as I post this around 7:10pm! Wow! Tomorrow is November and it's 70F at this time of night...amazing!

Wait til tomorrow! Temperature plunge.

Kapono isn’t a fan of Halloween. She didn’t care for her Incredibles harness and mask and she didn’t like the mask any better in her pumpkin shirt.

Goodness, I love it! She is adorable.

Yes. My weather app says we'll be 53F on Friday. It's hard to believe....but it's also not. My meaning is that although it's still warm... the winds are howling! Those strong winds will push those cold temperatures into our area. November will actually feel like November

It's chaos here tonight. Smoke alarm going off because of burning pizza in the oven, dog barking at everything and everyone, lots of kids trick or treating in neighborhood, etc.

Again maybe if you had fed Jack, you would have been able to pay attention to what was cooking. Never mind, feed Jack and STAY OUT OF THE KITCHEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Makes you NOT want to wake up...huh!?

Oh yes we already have it. 42 with winds down to 12 mph. It has dropped from being 68 two hours ago! Dropping to 29.

Even if it was cold I would still rather wake up then not, although I wish that dh and I had decided to make roots further south when we got married.

I had about 30 T/T'rs. I only expected 10, and bought for like 70! LOL... I dunno what I was thinking... each kid ended up with 2 pixie sticks and a mini pack of m&m's. I think the kids were more excited about the pixie sticks... (which I bought 2 packs of 35 at the dollar store) We have 4 churches right down the road, that trunk or treat... so I was surprised to get that many. Of course I haven't handed out candy in about 5 years. But we've got so many kids on the street now, I decided to give up the candy... sadly not ONE kid from our street came to the house! OH well... at least other kids got candy!

 

[Rista1313]

oh and it was a little rainy/snowy... but it lightened up for the kids!

We are doing a field trip to DC tomorrow. Going to the National Gallery of Art and then walking along the National Mall.

Zero trick or treaters in my neighborhood! We have about 30 some odd bags of candy. Remember two of my dd’s filled the bags excitedly at the beginning of the month. We may just donate them.

Do you think you'll be in your current location "until death do us part"? ...or....might you two move south in your "golden years"?

No clue to be honest.

Maybe to an old peoples home .... old people like candy too!

T’s school does treat bags for an inner city school and also to send to the troops. Each kid has to bring in 10 pieces of candy.. a lot of kids end up bringing more. We also have a lot of left over candy from what I didn’t hand out. I’ll probably send a lot of that to school to, bonus- prevents me from eating it. Lol
T went with a few friends and one of their parents tonight. I maybe got 15 kids total, me and Reilly were giving out candy, but I didn’t put him in costume this year.

Here’s T’s stash tonight, it’s bigger than what it looks in and he wasn’t even out that long. Wind chill was low 30s and rainy



I love that someone gave granola bars, gluten free, and organic options too.

No we don’t. We did the Hersheypark in the dark last year. The company owns the candy factory and they gave each kid one bar of something at like 7 stations I think. Funny thing is is that I remember not one was a Hershey Bar! My kids thought it was lane. We will do Candylane instead. It’s only $22 a person O think with their current special.

We're probably not going back up this year. There's too much stuff closed for Candylane for us to be interested, plus we both hate endless Christmas music. We go up to ride rollercoaster. Hence why we went up for HP in the Dark; most stuff was still open. None of the Halloween stuff for us. Except for Laff Track in the dark; that was fun.

Should be cool, but nicer than today. Have fun with the traffic...

And finally finally found a shirt I really wanted since our Dorian trip Dorian thankfully was a a fizzle in September but I did come home without the shirt I really wanted. Then it wasn’t still available earlier this month for conference. Sad again. Arrived last week. Nope but on Tuesday at the MK happiness
